This tent is very spacious, but that's all I will say about it. I used this tent for the first time over the weekend, and the weather was in good condition (40-72F). In the morning and afternoon, it turns into a steaming hot "sauna" inside the tent, and at night, it was quite cold. However the problem came early in the morning. The condensation was gathered on the inner side of rainfly and fell directly into the tent. The water drops went through the top part of tent and got everything wet. I spent almost 30 minutes wiping off the condensation, and then wipe the rest of my belongings. Not the most enjoyable camping trip I was hoping for.

Review 2 for Coleman Cimmaron 8-Person Modified Dome Tent

Great price, great size, great height!

So I was searching and searching for a tent that we could stand up in, without it being so humongous that it would take up our entire campsite!! I was between a couple tents and this one just seemed like it had a better design.

PROS 1) There's room to stand up and walk throughout the tent. 2) It is still a dome styled tent (which many taller tents are not) so rain and whatever else will slide right off the top without creating pools on top like a flat top/or sharply angled tent would. 3) The structure of the dome is wide but still high. With the curvature of the dome being higher to the top, there's even more usable standing space. 4) Fully lined zippers, bathtub welded floor, great stitching & rain fly = no rain or water leaks! 5) great ventilation, provides a big open back window (without zipper closure) which is covered by the rain fly for privacy when completely down, or the rain fly can be tied off to the sides for partial window, or rain fly can come off to allow open mesh window to be completely exposed and open. side windows with zipper closures still remain partially private with the rain fly on, and are high enough that outsiders can only see your head anyways. door provides excellent ventilation as well! 6) comes with door mat. I don't think it was mentioned in the product listing, and i really didn't think we would use it, but i'm glad we did... it kept the inside of the tent grass/dirt free! 7) Was just me, my boyfriend, and our dog, but there was a ton of room in there. We had a queen bed, and a dog bed with ample room on all sides of us for our belongings. We even turned the bed after we woke up for the day so we had even more open space to walk around and get dressed ect. (the foot of the bed was on the door side of the tent and the head was by the back window.) 8) I liked the fact that we were able to put our outside belongings inside the tent, just so our things weren't on display while we were gone.

CON (AT FIRST THEN PRO): My boyfriend was hung up on the fact that the tent was going to be huge. WRONG. Any bigger and I think it would take up too much room. The tent is rectangular so it is long, but not too wide (It's as wide as a queen mattress is tall). So it is the perfect size without over doing it, and without taking up the whole campsite!!

BOTTOM LINE: great tent and easy setup! glad I got this one!

One Tough Tent

Got this tent for a weekend camping trip to a coastal Island only accessible by boat. The tent was compact and light enough to easily fit in the bow of a 10' Kayak.Set up was quick and simple for 2 people, all the components were of good quality (for beach camping I would recommend some longer stakes). Tent is very roomy and also airy without the rain fly. The true test came on our last night when severe storms rolled up the coast. This tent rocked!, literally. We were buffeted by 40 - 50 mph winds with torrential rain fall and small hail. Even though the stakes weren't holding the tent held it's integrity. The wind was coming out of the south which was where the door of the tent was facing. The tent rocked violently as it was hit broadside by heavy gusts. Considering what was thrown at it I'd say it was pretty tight. The only visible leak was a tiny drip from the tie that secures the door window when open. We did spray the seams with a water proof sealer before the trip.

Love this tent...Bought it 2 yrs ago, used it 3 times already. Didn't do the review right away bcause we didn't test it yet with the wind and rain. First time we used this the weather was nice, 2nd time it rain and was windy (Memorial weekend 2013) and was cold. It held up the wind with no problem, as for the rain, we didn't get wet inside but it was not a heavy rain ( just a little rain). 3rd time was just last week (June 2013). We went to Cherrystone in VA our site was right at the bay. It got windy at night, but out last night there was a thunderstorm. Good thing the people next to us warned us about it and told us to prepare as it gets very windy when there's a thunderstorm and we were right at the chesapeake bay. And boy we did not expect it to be that intense, about 40-50mph and it lasted about an 1hr. It was scary and I thought the tent was going to be blown away. But thank goodness it held up. and no tear..As for the size, we're a family of 5, 3 kids (10,8,4) we have 2 airbeds (queen & full) and still have space to walk inside and have some space for our stuff. Love love this tent. Highly recommend

Excellent for two people

I recently purchased this item online and "broke it in" this past weekend. With some assistance, I was able to set it up within twenty minutes. I also purchased and set up a queen size Coleman inflatable bed and set it up on one side of the tent. I was also able to put four medium size carts and cooler inside on the opposite side floor to the bed, with room to spare for standing in the center section. Hopefully, with good care, and some more time free, I'll be able to use this tent at another weekend camping trip in the near future. I might recommend, as I did, to bring a floor tarp, 8 x 8, to put before the entrance. the door mat included in the tent set is small.

Very spacious tent

Being this is our first tent and Coleman being a named brand for years I decided to purchase it, mostly because I wanted it to be spacious and room enough to have most of our personal belongings and ice chest in at night and still be able to move about in and out of the tent. It meet our expectations and my boyfrined being five feet/seven inches tall certainly was a nice added feature that he was able to stand straight up and walk about inside the tent. Also he really enjoyed the fact that we have two netted pockets adhered to the wall of the tent to place small personal items in and that the zip up door has a screen to be able to see in and out minus the bugs. We so are enjoying our first Coleman Cimmaron 8-person tent. Only wish we could have more of selection of colors to chose from. Also as for the written instructions they could be better written as it was not very clear at some points. All in all it took us middle aged folks to setup the tent in about 45 minutes.

We bought this as a replacement for an older Coleman tent that we had used for the last 10+ years.Our other is a Cabin style tent. The Cimmaron tent has more cubic ft. but has an odd layout and because of the sloping sides does not feel as big as our older tent. It was more difficult to set up also. Not bad, just make sure you have two people. The rain fly is un-necessarily difficult to set up. It has string ties and hooks that you have to undo and then put away once you don't need it. It is hard to get back in the original bag too. It served it's purpose and we were dry after a nice solid rain overnight.I did seal the seams before using. We had room for our queen size air mattress and two cots for sleeping.It also had room for our gear. At most you could sleep six in this tent in sleeping bags but would not have room for your gear. We are a Family of six and slept six in our other tent. We did not this time. We used two tents instead. Good value,j ust not as big as expected.

I bought this one day before our camping trip, so I had no time to test run it. We camped on the Washington Coast and of course as soon as we got there it started to rain, drizzle, but still wet! When we started to go to bed it started to pour, poured all night! Not one drop of water go into the tent and this was without water sealing it. Very impressed, because the rain was relentless. Super easy to put up and nothing was missing with ours and we had no stitching errors at all. This was a replacement tent that had two rooms and was way to big for us. Did not like having two rooms, like the idea of one big room much better. We had one queen and one twin mattress in the tent with plenty of walking room. Highly recommend! Happy camping to you.....

I bought this tent based on others' reviews, in particular, that of a retired Army officer. Set-up was quick and simple, even with the help of an 18-month old and a man who refused to consult the directions (go figure)! My three kids and I stayed warm and dry with temps in the 40's. We had two full size air mattresses and all of our supplies in the tent with plenty of room to spare. This was my kids' first time camping and my first in 20 years. We all loved the experience and the tent. The only complaint I have is with the zipper on the door. It's a little tricky to use without catching the tent material in it, but once you get used to it it is not a problem. I almost didn't buy this tent because it was too attractive--it was love at first sight. I was afraid that I was being influenced too much by outward appearance so I researched other tents for weeks, but I always came back to the Cimmaron.Turns out you can have it all!

Easy set up and No leaks!

I was able to set up the Cimmaron alone in 10 minutes. The continuous pole sleeves eliminate hang-ups while feeding the poles through. The entire top is made of mesh. At 5'11, my husband can walk around the full length of the tent without ducking. There is plenty of room for 2 queen beds, gear, and room to walk around. It has been through two days of rain with no leaks. The floor was damp even with a ground cloth, but no puddles. I would definitely purchase this one again.

Great design - poor quality!

I loved the features on this tent after extensive 'on-line' searching. After I bought it I decided to do a 'test run' set-up before my big (5-night) camping trip. I was really impressed with the design, especially the little ventilation window on the floor. Problem was, the tent was very poorly constructed! There has to be four gromet holes for the two cross rods on the ceiling and there were only three (missed one at the factory)? The stitching around the doors and windows looked like a third grader did it (croocked and uneven everywhere)! The last straw with this was after I had the 'test model' fully set-up I was standing in front of it and I heard a big POP! One of the rear legs ripped off (stitching missed the flap)! I will admit that I was so impressed with the design that I did bring this one back and exchanged it for a new one. I set up the new one and it was much better, but still poor construction. I will strongly recommend that you "seal the seams" (should on any tent) with this model because I could see light through the stitching on all four corners. I am excited to put this design to the test as I wiggled the heck out of it and am convinced this will hold up (dry I hope) to 30+ MPH winds!

Review 13 for Coleman Cimmaron 8-Person Modified Dome Tent

Good tent, good price

,

06/22/2012

By Tirod ,

4out of5

I've tent camped for over 30 years now, with 22 years Army Reserve adding to that. Tents these days are made from much different materials, in different styles, and have advanced features that didn't exist when I first started.

The Coleman Cimmaron is a large tent, certainly the largest I've ever used. It's rated for 8 - which in the Army would be accomplished by correctly stacking the inhabitants. Nonetheless, it's certainly roomy enough for 6 and almost luxurious for 4, my intended use.

This tent isn't one to quickly pitch singlehandedly, I previously had a Daisy geodesic that could be put up by one - but it lacked good air circulation, would leak in hard rain, and did not have a coated tub floor. It was at best a fair weather tent. This one is different, with multiple poles that assemble easily, and which provide a lot of headroom. Very little crouching and crawling around is necessary, which a shorter 9x7 "four" man tent would require. The tent assembles easily enough, the rain fly attaches quickly, and the ventilation in full sun on a 93 degree day with 65% humidity was the best I've enjoyed. If there was a breeze, you could feel it, and the heat soak from full sun was minimal, unlike OD canvas. Instead of radiating from the full surface of the fabric, you only feel the directional impact of the sun.

Few sleep their day away in tents in the full sun, but humid nights are a constant hazard in the South and Midwest. The open ventilation, including the ground level vent, ensures you will get some chimney affect to dump the heat, and you can control it when you need.

This isn't a cool weather tent, tho, and we anticipate using it in the high desert at the Grand Canyon. Previous experience has taught me that tents aren't known for their insulation, you reduce the passage of air. This tent does that by zipping all the windows closed - but it's a tradeoff, as the full net roof will allow some heat to escape. I chose this over using one with a cool season ability, because the hot weather circulation is a higher priority with typical summertime vacations.

Overall, the construction shows attention to detail, the cordage is sufficiently strong, but the tent pegs aren't. I'll substitute the more expensive heavy duty plastic pegs as they are nearly hammerproof. A 36 oz dead blow gets the job done in compacted campgrounds. This model has a power cord port, interior pockets, a center ring to hang a light or fan, and a center loft net to hold small items. The net hooks weren't sewn on well, the one flaw I've found overall.

The roof design doesn't drape and pool water, a welcome change to the practice of my fellow soldiers and children timing a good shove on the roof as I pass by. I wonder how they learned that?

In general, I'm pleased with the construction and expected the larger size to be more complicated than a simple backpacking tent. It is, but it goes up with less effort or special technique than the geodesic. It disassembles easily, and if you read the directions, stowing the fly inside the tent makes for a compact bundle to zip into the carry bag, which is superior for handling and travel. Our last tent had a sack that didn't protect it well. I can see this tent will likely serve us better than the last one did.

Great deal on a very large tent!

We were looking for a tent to fit our queen air mattress, plus a twin mattress and two dog crates in for our son and two small dogs. This tent will definitely fit all of that and a Rubbermaid tote for clothes too. It took both myself and my husband to set it up and it says a 15 minute set-up but it took us 25 minutes, however that was the first time we took it out of the container. It was also very easy to get back into the bag and the bag is very light with the tent and poles in it. I bought this tent on sale for $97 and am extremely happy with the price I paid for the size of tent I received!

Basically a good tent for the $$...bought on sale. BUT, if u try to put 8 people in here..good luck. Maybe 8 w/ sleeping bags only. But for just 2 humans & 2 dogs, it is very roomy. Used in rain and VERY windy weather. Held up very well to 50 mph wind gusts, and only had one little seam w/ a leak solved w/ seam sealer. NOT a real good tent to use in very cold weather. The open ceiling w/ fly & open back window area is only covered by the fly and this lets out too much of the heat. But on the plus side, I can put the tent up in less than 20 minutes by myself. Very simple to assemble.

We just used this tent on a cross-country trip and it served us very well. The tent is well-constructed and easy to assemble. We put it up for the first time in the dark and it took about 15 - 20 minutes. It has good ventilation. It never rained on us during our trip, but it has a nice rain fly and reviews we read stated that it stays dry. They also noted that the tent pegs bend easily, which is true, but not a severe shortcomiing. I think 8 people in the tent would be pushing it, but we slept 3 adults and 2 kids with room to spare. A 6' plus individual can stand in the tent.

love this tent!!! While I was putting this up it started to rain really hard & the wind was blowing hard too. I didn't seal the seams or spray it with scotch guard & tent was dry as a bone. This was all in my back yard can't wait to take it camping next week in the Colorado mountains. Coleman out performed my ozark trail tent,which I seal the seams when I bought it. The Coleman fabric makes sure the water runs off & it doesn't saturate the tent. Buy this tent,you won't be sorry.

Great roomy and comfort vented and great coverage

Easy put up, great privacy zip up yet staying cool inside because of the screened top heat "No Problem". I love my tent recommend this tent to everyone who needs easy, roomy, cool during day warm at night zipping in and out for our 6 yr. old granddaughter was a breeze. We even put her a twin Double height lift mattress in there. She and her sleeping bag had a Barbie Princess bed , Plus her doll Dolly. Had a great time all weekend.

Great price, quick shipping, Easy set-up

We just used the Coleman Cimmaron 8-Person Modified Dome Tent, 14'X8' tent 5 nights camping, and it was great. 2 adults with a large air mattress, and 1 child with a single air mattress. Plenty of room. I figure an 8 person tent is good for 4 people if you include luggage. A previous review said it is difficult to put the tent back in the bag, but all tents are a tight fit in the bag. They are supposed to be. We have been camping for 14 years, and this was one of the easiest to get in the bag. I always have a gripe with tents with how the zipper will snag. They all seem to do it. This one wasn't too bad. It snagged when I wasn't careful. When I used 2 hands, or angled it away from the material that covered it, it was fine.
